E. & W. ran oft the track Monday afternoon while backing up on the side track at the flouring mill to get some cars. The cause of the accident was the rails spreading apart where the track curves. No damage was done and the engine was put back on the track in about an hour by Foreman Nichols and his section men. One of our school teachers startled his pupils the other day when he wrote an example on the board like this: “If twelve men eat eight cords of wood—?” A buzz of silent merri ment, sandwitched with a few giggles caused the professor to see the error which was soon changed.

Washburns, Jeweler, Hotel Fry. t The township assessors of St. Joseph county met in South Bend last Satinday, and received their lists and in--8 structions from the county assessor.

Dave Shelton, who has been in the employ of the Standard Oil Co. at Whiting during the past winter, has returned home. Work has fallen off there and the force of workmen has been greatly reduced. He expects to get a situation in the rolling mills at South Chicago. The school house at Knox burned one night last week. The fire, it is said, caught from the flue in the south end of the building. The insurance on building and contents was SI,OOO. This amount will serve as a start towards building the new school house they have been talking of there for the past two or three years. The man who can find nothing to do is not only badly educated but is ■ lacking in ordinary intelligence, says an exchange. To the person who pos- > sesses common gumption and industry i there comes more opportunities than 5 he can take care of to accept employment which is both remunerative and j honorable. It is the person who de- . sires to begin at the top who is always . found at the bottom, and it is the one ■ who wants two or three dollars a day for unskilled services who is out of employment all of the time. Business is not conducted upon the principles on which charity is distributed, but a person will always be required to earn all that he receives. HALF MAN!

Ample proof is furnished in the comments of the press and the

. enormous crowds everywhere attracted that be is far and away the most prodigious phenomenon of combined species known since the birth of animal life. The Chicago Daily News says, editorially, ‘‘that the fabled centuries might readily mistake him for a longlost brother,’ and the other papers class him as a most extraordinary creature, in whome the human and equine are so strangely and equally combined, and while he talks, sings, reads and writes like the ordinary man, he is compelled to travel on all fours, and moves, trots and gallops precisely like the horse. A huge attraction at Kohl & Middle ton’s State Street Globe Museum, for the week of April 9th, will be the “Married Mastodons,” a tremendously titanic couple, representing half a ton of wedded bliss.

Indiana contributed her thousands of brave soldiers to the war, and no state bears a better record in that respect than it does. In literature it is rapidly acquiring an enviable place. In war and literature Solomon Yewell, well known as a writer as “Sol,’’ has won an honorable position. During the late war he was a member of Co. M, 2d. N. Y. Cavalry and of the 13th Indiana infantry Volunteers. Regarding an important circumstance he writes as follows: “Several of us old veterans here are using Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine, Heart Cure and Nerve and Liver Pills, all of them giving splendid satisfaction. In fact, we have never used remedies that compare with them. Os the Pills we must say they are the best combination of the qualities required in a preparation of their nature we have ever known, we have none but words of praise for them. They are the outgrowth of a new principle in medicine, and tone up the system wonderfully. We say to all, try these remedies.” -Solomon Yewell, Marlon, Ind., Dec. 5, 1892. These remedies are sold by all druggists on a positive guarantee, or sent direct bv the Dr. Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind., on receipt of price, 81 per bottle, six bottles 85, express prepaid.
